October 13, 2023 - Loads of dark red fruit, classic but uninspiring. Will hold but likely won't evolve.

March 11, 2023 - Very nice PN. Could have gone higher on score but just lacks some of the depth from similar vintage Noerthern CA Pinots we are drinking now

August 2, 2022 - Purchased upon release and cellared under pristine conditions, this bottle was uncorked and poured, requiring minimal aeration in order to fully strut its stuff. Medium red/garnet in color at this point, it delivers a package of Montmorency cherries, red bramble fruits, mulling spices, cocoa, cola and black tea. Fresh and without alcoholic heat (despite being listed as 14.8%), it retains excellent mid-palate density, wrapping the fruit with proportionate oak and plentiful silky-textured tannins. Layered and long on the back end, this Pinot is classic in quality and should continue to show well over the next 3-4 years (possibly longer). Drink now-2026.
